We've had favourite bands and artists on this forum. What about songs that have made a real impact through your life and make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up every time you hear them.

Allysandra can crib a playlist for the radio station.

Here's a few for starters.

Throwing Muses: Garoux des Larmes tops the list which could pretty much include any of their songs.
Bjork: Violently Happy.
John Cale: Hallelujah - I know Leonard Cohen wrote the most beautiful song ever composed but John Cale sings it best for me.
Nina Simone: Feeling Good
White Stripes: Ball and Biscuit - Jack White says playing the blues is easy but he's just a big show off.
Rolling Stones: Angie - has me singing for days every time I hear it.
Janis Joplin: Summertime
Echo and the Bunnymen: Ocean Rain
Pink Floyd: The Nile Song
The Pogues: Young Ned of the Hill - memories of Kerry, the county that is.
Cocteau Twins: Frou Frou Foxes in Midsummer Fires....
Misererre - preferably by the Trinity Male Voice choir: I want to be a monk when I grow up just for the voice training, definitely music to be played loud.

Losing Hope - Jack Johnson
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton
Behind Blue Eyes - The Who

Tori Amos: Happy Phantom
Tori Amos: Concertina
Tori Amos: Mrs Jesus
Tori Amos: Father Lucifer
Tori Amos: Horses
Tori Amos: Raspberry Swirl

I could go on.

I see a pattern.....

Can't really say if any song made an impact through my life, but I know songs that make me shiver almost every time I hear them. Some of them would be:

Anathema - Shroud of Frost
Anathema - Sleepless
Iced Earth - Melancholy
Godsmack - Trippin
Metallica - Where The Wild Things Are
In Flames - Bullet Ride
Samael - Year Zero
Europe - Final Countdown
Queen - Show Must Go On

Yeah, not my favourite songs or bands, as such (though pretty damn good), but the tunes themselves are probably my favourites.

(By the way, I like the tactical use of the word "loins" in the title. We need more topic-titles like that!)

Raiha, you reminded me of some.

Muse - Unintended
Fiona Apple- Paper Bag
Puscifer- RCV 22:20
Jay Gordon from Orgy - Slept So Long

Alive. By Raiko. I bet no one knows it. Or like 4 people do. And I bet I know who they are too. (It are awesome. Albeit Japanese.)

Evolution by Ayumi Hamasaki is grand..it's so upbeat. I wish I could sing along if only I knew Japanese :/!

And Big Bang Baby by Stone Temple Pilots.

I should stop now. I love too much music.

I don't speak Japanese, but I can still sing along...it just takes practice. And you sound stupid.

Dare datte shippai wa suru nda, hazukashii koto janai, kono kizu o muda ni shinaide, waratte arukereba ii...ignore grammar faults or anything, I can't help it. Also Owari Nai Yume, but I don't know who that's by. It's awesome nice though.

Also "When All Hope Has Faded", which ironically is a really inspiring thing by...*check* Zircon.

Ohhh someone else here likes Switchfoot!!!

Do you just like Switchfoot, or other Christan Rock? That is the question *grin*

Meant to Live is my Ring Tone *innocent*
